Toffees too tough for Terriers

JERMAINE BECKFORD was on target as Everton hit five to ease into the third round of the Carling Cup at the expense of 10-man Huddersfield last night.

Beckford’s first goal since joining the Toffees from Leeds in the summer made victory certain at Goodison Park after their League One opponents had responded to early Marouane Fellaini and Jack Rodwell strikes.

A John Heitinga own goal gave Huddersfield hope at half-time but Beckford’s penalty and further efforts from Louis Saha and Leon Osman – after Lee Peltier had been sent off and Heitinga missed from the spot – settled the tie.
